Growing up with a dad who fixed just about everything, Jack Johnson has a strong resolve to minimize waste in the world. Not to mention he loves the natural environment, a place where he finds inspiration and serenity.“It’s such a profound experience to be in nature, whether you’re in the ocean or hiking,” Johnson said. “We have to do something to keep things beautiful.”
Everyone needs a break, including local musician Jack Johnson. But even when he takes a hiatus from hosting his popular eco-friendly Kokua Festival, he’s not really on a break. He’s touring, he’s producing artists, he’s trying to find better, more sustainable ways to live. Such as reducing the carbon footprint of his world tours or recording an entire album using solar energy.
The video for Jack’s new single “You and Your Heart” has debuted yesterday on VH1.com. It was directed by Jack, and shot in Hawaii. Check it out here.
You can also check it out on Jack’s brand new YouTube channel.
